” Ferdinand de Lesseps”, was a French diplomat and administrator, regarded for the construction of the Suez Canal. He was invited by Muhammad Sa’id Pasha( was the Wali of Egypt and Sudan from 1854 until 1863 and educated in Paris) to pay him a visit, and on 7 November 1854 he landed at Alexandria; on the 30th of the same month Muhammad Sa’id Pasha signed the concession authorizing him to build the Suez Canal. A first scheme, initiated by ” Ferdinand de Lesseps”, was immediately drawn out by two French engineers who were in the Egyptian service, Louis Maurice Adolphe Linant de Bellefonds called “Linant Bey” and Mougel Bey. This project, provided for a direct link between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. After being slightly modified, the plan was adopted in 1856 by the civil engineers constituting the International Commission for the piercing of the Isthmus of Suez.
